Musical Parking
S
o the border was a typical border, with having to leave to make photocopies, even though they had a machine there. We drove a long day and got to Merida, capital of the Yucatan state. We are keeping a tally, so far, 0 cops bribed. After finding a place to stay, the musical chair for our car began. The first parking lot charged a flat $1.20 per hour
. We drove around for a while, until we found another that would be more like $0.70 per hour. This is still way out of our price range, as we normally spend around $5 a day. This charade would continue for the next three days, as we would keep coming across cheaper options. We got into town hoping to be in time for the Broncos game
. We could only find a place that had another game on. We watched in desperate hopes to see some highlights at least. After the game they showed a whopping three highlights, 3-0 is all I have to say. Merida is a great colonial town, with colorful buildings and the people have been quite friendly
. We spent the next day running a few errands, and getting to know the town. The food is unbelievable here. I think I could move here and eat myself to death. We had a relaxed day, and with the Broncos victory, I was on cloud 9. Not much to say about Merida other than we hung out for a few days and ate! Tomorrow off to do something new, agai
